Spaceward Ho! is a strategic game of awesome scope. You
control the entire military and economy of a spacefaring race. Your goal:
explore and colonize the galaxy.

Unfortunately, you are not alone. Alien enemies bent on galactic conquest
will oppose your expansion. You fight them by developing new technologies
and expanding your empire, or you can ally with them to turn enemies into
friends.

Terraform newly discovered worlds or mine their natural resources. Maneuver
your starship fleets, both in defense of your own systems and in offensive
strikes against the evil aliens. Your strategic decisions will determine
the fate of the galaxy.

It's incredibly fun to play alone against the excellent computer players, and even better with other humans on the internet.

Spaceward Ho! has won numerous awards over the years, including being inducted into the MacWorld Game Hall of Fame and winning Best Network Game of the year.

The new version 5 is better than ever, with free internet play on spacewardho.net, combined fleets, new battle options, an all-new user interface, and much more.
